I was behind by about 3 months, but I've made progress.. I only have 3 weeks to do and I'll be all caught up!! And those cards are super cute!
Hey everyone. Happy Monday! We're winding down our last few weeks before school starts. I have lots going on this week so check back often.
First up, let's talk about Project Life. We're mid-way through the year and I know it gets tough to keep up, especially during the Summer months. I'm looking forward to doing a little catch up myself once the girls start back to school. If you're brand new to Project Life and are wondering if it's for you, this little video will give you a glimpse as to what it's all about. I say YES! Project Life provides a super simple solution to getting our photos into albums. It can be as basic as you want it to be.....or you can fancy up your pages with your own scrapbooking supplies.
Please check Becky's new video here to see what Project Life is all about.
I am also doing a Project Life giveaway today. If your name is selected from my comments section, you'll receive these brand new items from the Project Life lineup:
To enter the contest, please leave a comment on this post telling me how Project Life has changed your way of scrapbooking....or if you're brand new to Project Life, tell me how you think you'll use it. Comments will be closed tomorrow, (Tuesday) August 6th at 9pm Central Time. Good luck!This week:
Lot to juggle this week but I'm hoping to be back with some fun blog posts. Look for a Project Life update, some new cards, some provoking thoughts, a new kit, some vintage finds and lots of Papertrey stamps and patterned papers for sale. I need some time to organize it all but I'm going to try to fit it all in. Stay tuned & be sure to check my Facebook and Twitter updates for upcoming sales. :)

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 305 of 305I believe that Project Life will work for me because I love taking pictures and scrapbooking. I admit I have several years of pictures to scrapbook. I want to do something with these pictures so my son will have them for years and years and be able to share with his family.
I started Project Life this year and so far am loving the awareness it has brought to my life. It is a virtual, living scrapbook of our lifes. Would love to win this.
Last year I mustered up the courage and strength to finally walk out on my 3yr abusive marriage. Having started a new life in another city and having to start all over again, new job, making new friends and meeting a fantastic man that finally treats me like a princess, he recently bought me my first project life kit so I can document my new life with new beginnings so that I finally have something to look back on with a smile and help me forget the last 3yrs!
I plan on starting project life in 2013. I have been gathering my items to start. Project life will give me the opportunity to capture the big and little moments in my families life. I usually don't date all of our special moments but I will soon. Thanks for doing this giveaway.

I am WAY behind but it has certainly been easier than traditional scrapbooking. I love when you show us how you get behind too with tips on catching up! It inspires me to keep going and give up some perfectionist ways on making every layout scrappy.
not only has project life changed the way i scrapbook but it has changed the way i live my life. and that is icing on the cake.
not only has project life changed the way i document my life but it has changed the way i live it. and that is icing on the cake, thank you!
Carla G. FL- I'm new to Project Life but have always scrapbooked. But now more then ever I have a really sense of duty & obligation to tell our family story, values, & traditions. My two Little boys are going to carry on their grandparents and parents legacy. Project Life makes it that much easier. Without a story we are lost. Thanks for the opportunity.

I love Project Life, I'm getting a lot of pictures printed and out where people can look at them, but (for me) it's not as much of a creative process as it once was and at this point that's ok. The stories are getting without all the pretty extras that in 10, 20, 30 yrs I won't care about anyways.
I've re found how great life is by seeing great moments in my everyday life to take a pic of and document to fill out my double page every week, I'm single and don't have kids to take lots of pics of ;) I absolutely love PL!!!
This is my third year doing Project Life. I love that I am able to keep "caught up" using the little snippets of my life. The kit makes it so easy to slip in a photo or ephemra, jot a little journalling card and you're done!
Because of the simplicity of PL, I am actually documenting our life instead of thinking about documenting my life.
Just love it. It allows me to keep all my children souvenirs in one place.
Project Life..I've been doing it since Becky first introduced us to the concept. I love how simple it is...and how easy it is to make it your own. I no longer have scrapbookers guilt.... I have my POTD...I have my journal. If I don't get it into the album right away....no big deal. I know how quick it is to catch up. LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!
I haven't tried Project Life yet or any kind of scrapbooking.
I'd love to try the PL method. I think I could finally put some scrapbooks together this way.
I'm new to Project Life and I am loving it!! I have gotten more photos in our book in three weeks than I have in three years since traditional scrapbooking became just too overwhelming for me. PL has combined my love of journal-keeping with our family photos and I couldn't be happier about it!
I'd love some. I have all but stopped Scrapbooking because it has gotten too complicated for me.
Project Life has changed the way I scrapbook by allowing me to actually get it done! I have used PL for the last two years and i love it!
I love how project life gives me a way to capture all the day to day happenings of my life! I never had a place to put all this stuff before!
I plan to use project life to catch up on my life. I don't have children, but I hope my nieces and nephews will be glad I documented my life and my husband's life.
I am new to Project Life. I just received the Cherry edition from Amazon last week and I plan to start using it soon. I'm a little nervous about starting as I am a traditional scrapbooker. I am so far behind, I thought this would be a way for me to catch up. Thanks for the chance to win.

You've inspired me to seriously think about taking the plunge, love your pages. I know it is something I would love to have to look back on one day.
I'm new to Project Life. I've been in a funk scrapbooking lately and I think this would simplify things so I could get back to scrapbooking the memories and not worry about everything else.
I have done some form of Project Life since 2009. This year I have the pictures and the album, but no plastic. #procrastinator

I love Project Life and how it allows me to document lots f things that I wouldn't otherwise. But I am trying to balance how to do some traditional scrapbooking as well.
Project Life has completely changed how I document my life. It allows me to stop and appreciate the little, often forgotten about things in life. I know that in the future, I'll be so grateful that I took the time to make this work. There are so many unique day-to-day things that never would get documented in my traditional album.
Thanks for the opportunity.
This is my 4th year to do Project Life. The first year I had to make up my own version as the original version was sold out. The second year I was lucky enough to do a kit and I did it as Picture a Day. Last year I chose to try the digital version, and for 2012 I'm back to the kit. I just love the physical aspect of paper & embellishments for my scrapbooking. Project Life has simplified my take on my memory keeping as a working mom. I would love to add these page protectors to my book! Thanks for the chance!
I did Project Life when Becky came out with it in 2009. I loved completing it and keep it up pretty well. It is fun to look over and remember what we did that year. I am currently not doing it, but would like to try in 2013 and am also thinking of doing a baby album for both of my boys in the future. I have loved looking to see what you do with each one of your weeks! It always makes me wish I was doing Project Life this year. Thanks for the chance!
This is my first year doing Project Life, but it has really helped me feel like I will have a comprehensive look at our lives instead of an overview of "big" or "fun" stuff. It has also helped with feeling like I am keeping my husband in the loop when he is deployed with the Navy.
Received my very first Project Life kit at the end of 2011. I am using Project Life to chronicle my weight loss journey over the next year or two, as well as the first 15 years of my son's life.
I hope PL will help me scrap more. I have tons of supplies and don't get around to use them. Maybe since the pages are already broken up in 'layouts' for me, it'll make it simmer and faster! Thanks for then chance to win!
project life actually has me scrapbooking on a consistent basis, and I absolutely love that! Sometimes my weeks are fancy, sometimes they are simple. I plan to do most of my scrapbooking from here forward using the divided page protectors. LOVE LOVE LOVE project life!
I am new to project life. I just recently discovered it and its been pretty out of stock since i did. So i have yet to actually start. But right now im just not getting pictures and things into albums because it takes so long and it seems to always be a huge undertaking. I think PL would simplify and make it so that i am able to get my pictures into books! Thanks for the chance to win!
i have been using a photo a day aproach up until june, for june and july it is to busy around her so i will play catch up and likely do week at a glance. We typically get visitors and do vacation during that time anyway I like to do traditional scrapbooking during those months. but it is august so i am back to work on the daily approah :)
I am confused about the dates...that being said hope I could still be a winner! I love Project Life and would love to make an album (or 2) to pass down the generations. A legacy for my kids and their kids and on and on and on........thanks for the opportunities!

This is my second year doing Project Life. As a working Mom, it allows me to preserve my family's memories in a simple, organized and super fun way!
I just started PL this year and am in love at how quickly I can get everything scrapped! I have been able to catch up on months worth of pictures in just a few days.
I have been hesitant about PL. My lifestyle has changed that I started working FT and now have became a manager, which leaves me so little time for traditional scrapbooking. Over the time I have been watching Ali Edward's PL and my heart grew on it. Usually I only do 1 page a day per weekend and that's not much., my plan is to get started with the PL but still to keep going with traditional LOs. I am super excited to start! Thanks for the chance to win.
I've always wanted to try out Project Life. I'm an at-home mom to two little ones, so I'd love to document our weeks together. Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
I am trying project life for the first time this year and while I have had better months than others keeping up I have found that I really love how this project has my whole family included.... We don't go anywhere without someone picking up a memory item or saying " this should will for sure make it in the book". Before project life I felt alone in my scrap projects but now it's a family affair!
I love project life - I am doing a digital album thru Shutterfly and it is so easy! I want to win some of Becys new protectors so I can go back and catch up on years gone by ...

LOVE Project Life!! This is my first year, and I've already told my family and friends that it's the ONLY thing I want for my birthday and Christmas! I've been keeping all of my (5!)kid's "stuff" in plastic shoe boxes at the end of my bed and can't wait for the Children's series to roll out so I can get it put away pretty!!! Thanks Becky Higgins and thank you Michell for the opportunity to win!
It has me taking more pictures.
I love that PL means I'm up-to-date (for this year at least).
My kids and friends love flipping through the album and seeing what we've been up to.
I have been doing Project Life for 3 years and LOVE it! I am really excited to try out the new page protectors for my vacation scrapbook and to start a school book for my son!
I think project life is such an amazing concept. Would love to win!

I'm just starting with PL and I have years of catching up to do. This system gives me hope that I'll get there.
I have been very interested in using Project Life. I have read so much about it the past few months. This would be a wonderful way for me to give it a try!!
I hadn't scrapbooked in at least 4-5 years before starting Project Life this year. I absolutely love the how easy it makes it to document the little bits of life (like my son's favorite toy), in addition to the big moments (like buying a new house).
I used to be an avid scrapbooker, but haven't been able to find the time for about the last 5-6 years. I haven't started PL yet, but am so anxious to get started, as I think it could really help me get caught up and back into the swing of things!
I started Project Life when Becky originally announced it as Project 365. I've done it every year since then. Before PL I had never scrapbooked. I was great at taking pictures, blogging and capturing memories, but never putting them into anything tangible that anyone else could see. Now I have these albums that capture so much of my life. As Becky has expanded her products my albums have expanded too, and my albums are so much richer. I love everything about PL!
Never have tried Project Life but it sounds like fun! Would love to win this so I can be one of the commenters that say how it has changed their way of scrapbooking :) Thanks for that chance!
I really didn't think I could handle Project Life. I could barely do a regular page for lack of time, and besides we're boring. But I started it this year and I am so glad. Just looking back over the last half a year I'm so grateful for the little things that got recorded. At the time I swore I would never forget them but I have. So so thankful for this process!!
I started it this year thinking I'd never keep up and there'd be nothing to put in it. But I have, and there is so much. I am so grateful for all the little stuff that gets captured. You swear you won't forget, but you do. And now its not lost forever. So so thankful for this process.
I use PL as a regular photo album (not 1 photo per day project) and it works for me.
i have boxes and boxes of memorabilia i have saved for the past 12years of having kids.....and am finally - FINALLY - doing something with all of it! it is refreshing and wonderful to remember.....
I love project life! It has helped me get pictures organized and journaled. My husband was trying to remember when he ran his 5k and I knew exactly what album it was in and therefore, what year it was in. I love it and would love to win this fabulous prize! Thank you!
Project Life has completely changed the way I look at scrap booking! I have tried several times to get a daily photo and always got behind, but I am on a roll this time ;o)
Project Life is amazing and helped me scrapbook my photos, journal, and everyday life perfectly together!

Love PL! It has mainly changed me as a scrapbooker by ensuring I am actually documenting life! I had been working on my 5 year olds first album for 5 years... Starting PL gave me inspiration to get it done! (traditional scrapping and everything!) I love that we can look back and enjoy these albums so often. So wonderful!
I started this journey back in 2009 by taking a picture each day... i think it has totally helped me figure out what pictures i want at events to sum it up. it has totally simplified my memory keeping ;) AND it is easy to find pictures I want to scrap for my kiddies!
I just purchased the Project Life kit from Amazon and am excited to start. I'm going to just start now and try to ignore my perfectionist tendencies so that I can document my family's life.
I am not using Project Life, but have been considering. Just haven't taken the leap yet. However, I hope to invest in this system in the future. nlundeen at catt dot com
I started Project Life in Jan. 2011 and it has TOTALLY changed my perspective about life---not just scrapbooking. I now LOOK for beauty daily so I can capture it and remember it. My children regularly pull out my books and laugh and talk about the "good times". I'm preparing to scrapbook 2010 using PL, so I'd LOVE to win some new stuff for it.
Project Life allows me to bring my family into preserving our memories together. We can share stories from our point-of-view as we complete OUR story.
I am in my second year of Project Life. I found that being a busy mom of little ones, I wasn't finding ANY TIME to scrapbook... that is, until I found Project Life! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
I am on my second year of Project Life. Since becoming a busy mom of little ones, I wasn't finding ANY TIME for scrapbooking; that is, until I found Project Life. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
I love Project Life. I feel like I can get more scrapped than every before. Thanks for the chance to win.
I started Project Life in March this year, and I'm still playing catch-up for the whole first half of the year. BUT it's such a fun process. I love going through and remembering all the fun moments and seeing how much my boys have changed in just 7 short months!
I love the new plastics, I can see that I would use all those sizes as I document and use Project Life for our family of 7.
Thanks

I've been doing digital version of Project Life and love it even I'm so far behind, but I won't quit!
I also have the physical products that will probably switch to, but still couldn't get over the fear that I'd never scrap physically before.
Anyway, I love Project Life!!!
I haven't started PL yet, still stalking it and deciding if it's for me. I just need to pull the trigger and try it out!
I need this to get started! lol! Can handle a week at a time! Years backlogged---not so much! Blessings, Sharon
Even though I'm way behind on it, I love project life! I love seeing our kiddo look thru the older books and show his friends... Which is why I'm determined to get caught up!! :) I also love flipping thru the album and seeing how my life has changed these last 3 years. Good life, indeed! :)
I love working on my PL. The best part about PL is that it includes everyone in your family. Not just the kids. It also is so quick and ez.
I'm hoping it will help me keep-up w/ the kids since it's approach is flexible.
I started Project Life this January and it gives me a place to document the everyday stuff which I love. Thanks for your beautiful blog!
I love Project Life! It has changed the way I document life in that I wasn't really doing anything before. My pictures were trapped on my computer. I know that a layout a week isn't in my current season of life, so I am doing a layout a month for each of my girl's books. I often add one insert when we have more events going on, but that is it! It is doable, and I am 'caught up' completely with one kiddo. The other kiddo I am current with but I am working backwards to catch up with her. It is totally doable and I love it. I love that I can make it work for me, hence the month approach. My two year old looks at her book daily. Gotta love that!
i'M NEW TO THE Project Life era and I have started and I have found it to be the most wonderful experience I have founded I love the whole concept of PL to me it's fun, relaxing and you really can record your everyday life, I will be continuing this for a while.

I am excited to start Project Life when I order the core kit at the end of this month! I have so much to record and tons of memorabilia and pics to add to this way of memory keeping. It will catch me up in no time! It will also allow me to be creative but speed up the process in an orderly way! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
What an awesome giveaway! I haven't had a chance to order any of the new plastics yet and would love to win! Thank you for the chance :)
I love PL because it's given me a place for all those little, everyday stories that aren't quite enough for a 12x12 layout in the family album, but that I still want to remember.
Project Life means my kids will finally have photo albums! With four kids, I was overwhelmed with the number of pictures and completing albums seemed impossible. But Project Life gives me the ability to complete albums quickly and simply.
I have six children and doing Project Life would be so Helpful to me! We homeschool and do field trips, art work, and we are adding 4-H into the mix this year! My oldest daughter wants to be a photographer...so there is no end to the pictures being taken! I shall Hope to win! Hopeful....
This is my first year doing Project Life. I used to scrapbook the traditional way, but now I have five kids and the last time I really scrapbooked was back in 2006! So has PL changed things for me? I'm actually getting pictures developed!! They've sat in my computer for years! My kids are so excited to have albums to look through and I love how simple the process is.
This is my 3rd year doing Project Life. I'd pretty much given up scrapbooking until I found Project Life! Now I keep up my photos and have time to do the layouts I really want to do.
i love pl i have 2 lil girls and it lets me document the every day life they have thanks for a chance to win hugz jamie
Oh, my goodness, Project Life has really changed the way I scrapbook and look at the world. I used to be a hard core, addicted scrapbooker. But, as work and kids started overwhelming me, I got more & more behind on the scrapbooking and almost began to dread taking pictures (one more page that I would be behind!). Now, with Project Life, I can be behind and not feel too stressed about it because I know it doesn't take too long to catch up. LOVE IT! I just gave my niece Project Life for her bridal shower gift that I had for her on Sunday. Thought it was a perfect gift for a soon to be bride!
8 months in and I'm still loving Project Life! I still scrapbook traditional layouts of big events, but Project Life has allowed me to document our everyday lives... all the little moments that make us who we are, as individuals and as a family.
I figure at least I have some documnetation done. And if it's cute, that's a bonus. Love it.
I'd like to start recording more everyday memories so I think this would give me a good start.
This is my first year of doing PL and I LOVE it!! I used to scrapbook but slacked off so much after I did my wedding 4 years ago. Moving, working (I stay at home now) and having a baby made me push scrapbooking to the back burner. Now I can proudly say I am preserving my family memories in a way that people can actually look at one day, instead of keeping all my photos on my phone or camera!!! So thankful I found Becky and this method! Thanks for the opportunity to win the new plastics!
PL allows my everyday, "normal" life pictures to have a home and to be viewed and appreciated more. I enjoy traditional scrapbooking of special events, but not my grocery cart, for example, even though I take lots of pictures of both.
I would love to use Project Life to make an album for each of my children. I'd also like to use it for photos from my childhood and college years, that are in boxes after I rescued them from old magnetic albums.
I have done Project Life for a couple of years now. I used to try to do full layouts chronologically and that just didn't work out for me. I never seemed to be caught up. PL works out perfectly. I load up my page protectors with everyday photos, journaling and a few embellishments every once in a while throughout the year. I still do full 12x12 layouts and sprinkle them in among the pages of my PL album.
Project life has taken the stress of scrapbooking EVERY little thing off of my shoulders! I now can easily get a year captured for my family to enjoy and pass on with ease! Love it!
Awesome, thank you so much for this giveaway. I love PL!! first year doing it, after being an avid scrapbooker, but life (namely, being a nanny, then moving on to being a wife and mother) kept me from doing it any more. My BF told me about PL and after a year of observing her simple pages, I figured I could do it too. :-) So nice to be "caught up" on photos, my husband likes it too.
I started with Project Life only about three weeks ago and I LOVE IT! Tradional scrapping left me frustrated. But with PL, I look forward to the whole process. Thanks for all your posts. I love your pages!
